Ms. Atkins and Ms. Yount will present on the importance of an effective compliance program for health care organizations. Under the Affordable Care Act, compliance programs are mandatory for health care providers that participate in the Medicare or Medicaid program. A robust compliance program provides immense benefits to health care organizations by reducing the likelihood of unlawful or unethical behavior, providing a mechanism for employees to report problems allowing for internal inquiry and corrective action, and potentially minimizing financial losses to the organization through early detection of issues. Given the importance of a strong compliance program, it’s imperative that health care attorneys are up-to-date on recent developments in health care compliance.

Erin Atkins and Rachel Yount will provide an overview of the seven elements of an effective compliance program, discuss the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) compliance program guidance for specific provider types, as well as address recent Department of Justice and OIG guidance on implementing health care compliance programs. This webinar will also provide practical tips for both health care organizations in the early stages of developing a compliance program and health care organizations with compliance programs already in place.
